M.I.A. Born Free Video

I heard the song a few days ago and blogged about it, now the official video release. This has got to be one of the coolest videos I have ever seen, definitely NSFW though. Director by Romain Gavras pulls no punches, with this extremely graphic 9 min. short film.

I should tell you that the video is really violent and potentially disturbing to some, and not really what one might expect from the Sri Lankan party girl, well-documented family ties to the Tamil Tigers aside. But despite the content, it never feels gratuitous. If anything it's an artistic statement, check it out.
